Ok Everyone, What Did You Buy?
Catracks replied to jaymzee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are past threads with a lot of information. The search feature here is so=so. For expediency sake I will post my lists. They are a bit wordy. Some thing I already had. I still use everything. I may have overdone it on the Protein powder (I bought 1 ea 5 lb bag of chocolate and vanilla). Oh well, I still drink Protein shake now and again. You can mix them into batters and things so it's not a waste.

Hunter replied to deitress1's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I could have protein shakes and cream soups yogurt........ I also had 5 of the best French fries ever made at day 10 of 14 LOL but that's not recommended. -
I couldn't tolerate protein powders/shakes postop (Or now!) I lived off of milk, drinkable yogurt, and protein kefir for a week or two until purees.

Horrible Reflux/heartburn The Last 2 Nites....
mich replied to marfar7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I get heartburn from any kind of breads or grains. You mentioned a sandwich at bedtime? Maybe try just PB and banana. Even popcorn can cause it for me. Eating yogart everyday helps a lot. When I slack on my organic yogurt, I notice more heartburn. I don't know why. Sorry you are in pain, no fun! -
Horrible Reflux/heartburn The Last 2 Nites....
CowgirlJane replied to marfar7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I luckily dont have a reflux problem with sleeve until after my plastic surgery. uber tight compression garments!! Not eating after about 7 and laying propped by pillows solved it. I agree that if you do eat late make it Greek yogurt and really small portion. (In fact itty bitty portions earlier in the day is also key. ) I think a sandwich before bed would give me reflux. -
I was banded on July 7th and I am miserable. I don't know what to do. I have the support from my family and friends for whatever I need, but they don't understand or know what to say. Especially on days like today where I get to the point that I'm so upset I can't stop crying. I guess my main issue is the fact that I'm so hungry all the time. If anyone knows anything about the "twilight" series, i feel like the Cullens; living on tofu to keep me strong but never satisfied. I've been reading a lot of blogs on here and am confused because my surgeon told me that there is nothing in my band right now; that my first fill is 4 weeks after surgery. I'm confused, because it seems like everyone else has fluid in their band right after surgery. I have my old appetite but am forced to stay on a post op diet which consists of applesauce, protein shakes, yogurt, and broth. This is "BANDING HELL" as one person posted. I know it will get better and I'm trying to stay active but when everyone is eating actual food and I can't, it's making me nuts. Not to mention that I'm not having carbs or sugar or fat for that matter, my body hates me. You would think with a diet like this I would have lost some weight already. NOPE! Please please please, any advice or stories on post op hell and how it will get better would be much appreciated!

Hi! I'm 15 days post op and after receiving and starting reading the BIG book I think I've pushed my diet too fast. We received paper work on post op from our dr. But it was conflicting. When I left the hospital and went to the grocery store, my guide was like most people buy yogurt water and Gatorade. Soooo I've had yogurt sense day 3 and other soft daries as well as soft mushy veggies and two days ago I introduced mashed potatoes. I've had absolutely no issue. How bad have I messed up?

Nutrition plan share away.
OneLostJourney replied to OneLostJourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all. However my surgeons suggestions are if it matches the consistency than u can go with it. Cream of wheat is way tom heavy and has zero nutrition. I am against caned food so fresh Miso Soup is full of protein and it's like water. And being I'm trying to get out of diabetes having a drinkable yogurt loaded with sugar is not a good idea when cultured milk is a natural praboitic with protein same consistency as yogurt even thiner. I would say look further for much better items and ask your doc those are just few suggestions they put on paper. -
Name is Lorraine....I got to my highest weight @ 290. Decided if I didn't do something quick I wouldn't see my kids grow up. I was banded on Aug 4th 2011. I have never been more nervous about anything in my life, but the surgeon and staff were amazing. I didn't feel a thing. I felt it all afterwards. I really had no pain anywhere else but the bottom incision, where the port is. That one hurts like a sucker. Then the incision on the side started to bleed a little. It's the one that has the most bruising, but doesn't hurt much. I did my 48 hours of Clear liquids...if I taste another cup of broth I will vomit... Jello is also starting to lose it's goodness...Well I started on the liquids. I've been drinking Protein drinks, yogurt and applesauce....all fat free of course. Feeling a little bit more hungry today. I just keep drinking fluids and hope this day passes quickly. I get to start "mushies" on the 12th. Looking forward to a change. If anyone has any advice about the hunger or about the bleeding incision please let me know.

Calling seasoned sleevess - Im fre- c
capeciw posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im hoping some seasoned sleevers can help me. I feel badly posting this when I read some of the difficulties people are having. I'm a little over a week post op- started purée today and am having no issues. With anything. I can see where getting your fluids in can be tough in the beginning balancing food and hydration, but I ate just about a little less than measured for each: 1/4 cup egg at Breakfast, 1/4 cup refried Beans at lunch and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and chicken purée. I still have to have one Protein shake. I didn't feel too uncomfortable, it didn't hurt and then I worried that my sleeve isn't working. I know this is dumb because I shouldn't have to have issues ( and don't want them!!) and know that I'm still so early on--- what do I know!? I'm most terrified that it is not working and I won't lose. I am trying to really watch my sugars and carbs and only incorporate them where I really want (said refried beans). Has anyone further along and successful felt like this? My calorie count today after my last Protein Shake will be about 550. All last week on liquids I was around 300. Now I know this is ridiculous because no one is going to gain weight with that count!! -
I'm on day 5 post op, and have been drinking tons of water (about 50 oz) and getting in the 60grams of protein, and even added 4 oz of yogurt once a day. But I am legit hungry. Does anyone else experience this? I know they say it just means you're thirsty but I'm taking in so much fluid and my stomach still growls.. Is it just me?

Nutrition plan share away.
Inner Surfer Girl replied to OneLostJourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first week was clear liquids so I used premier protein (my surgeon allowed this as an exception to the clear rule), and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate. My second week was full liquids (which also included Greek yogurt and cottage cheese). I also used ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil soup. -
Meganliz0824, I feel ya man. I am 10 days post op and for four days I have stepped forward a week and have been having yogurt and cream of wheat. I am supposed to still be on Clear Liquids. I am thinking that since I tolerate it it's ok. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. I just wasn't satisfied and was hungry. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts. I have felt great through this whole process I am sick of isopure drinks. I have also had premier Protein shakes and not supposed to yet. I don't know the answer and I really don't want to screw this up. Liamnatx, thanks for the great ideas!!!!

The dr said "soft liquids" drinkable yogurt.. Strained Soup and so on at 10 days. Soft foods not until 21 days. Sigh... Thanks guys. I read everyone's happy posts and they REALLY help. I'm just smelling dinner fighting back tears. So ridiculous to cry over food, I know.

That sounds scary try some yogurt, jello or a popsicle. I bet that will take away the craving.

Vets: foods you personally can't tolerate?
septappt replied to NMJG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Chicken anything! Chicken is not my friend ! I can pretty much eat anything but I tend to stick with a chosen few foods that I constantly eat alllllllll the time. Chili, egg salad, tomato soup, quest bars, deli turkey, any kind of cheese and Greek yogurt ! Not much variety but keeps me within my limits -
What's your menu consist of?
SkinnyScrapper replied to Kimberlee1383837812's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
9 months out.. Have a protein Shake for breakfast every morning. I love them and I feel better when I start the day with one. Scrambled eggs, egg whites, unjury cheese sauce, ground beef, steak, chicken, lamb, cheese sticks, nuts, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, apples cut up a little at a time, bananas, grapes. Quest bars Mostly protein, few complete carbs (maybe a bite of bread or noodles). A couple protein biscotti is the most I will do. Still working in salads but my surgeon said I should be able to eat them so I am doing a little more each time and happy it is going well! -

EarthyGoalie replied to Kimberlee1383837812's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm also 6 months out. I do try to drink a premier protein shake every day. I also try to make healthy choices but I do admit that that doesn't happen as much as it should. I've been crazy about 100 calorie pretzels lately. Also been eating yogurt, cheese, and crackers. And most of the time, for my meals, I eat a little of what my family's having. -
Day 1 ,2 clear liquids Day 3 to 13 - protein shakes, yogurt, cream soup, unsweetened applesauce, malt I meal Day 7 add soft cooked eggs non fat refrained beans and low fat cottage cheese Day 14 to 49 - soft solid foods Eight weeks and beyond - progress toward solid food

Does Anyone Feel Like They Eat The Same Things In Excess
cheryl2586 replied to goingfoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat greek yogurt for breakfast or a protein bar. The pure protein are about 180 to 200 calories but they have sugar alcohols that can cause stomach upset and gas. I limit those to about 1 a week. I eat tuna, boca burgers, black bean burgers, cottage cheese, low sodium V-8 because I dont always eat my veggies, I make black bean casserole. Edamame with sea salt, sometimes but rarely chicken salad and I do not do low fat or fat free anything because the amount of fat I eat in a day is not too much. I also buy any of the pic sweet veggies in the single serving size. Protein shakes I am done with. I don't think at a certain point you should still drink them. It is liquid calories and they do not keep you full. I eat eggs for breakfast too with a small amount of ketchup to help them go down. I hardly eat any meat because it doesnt like me. There are many things you can eat you have to try them. I thought I would never eat tofu but I love it. Sauteed in cabbage it is so good with lots of different seasoning such as dill, seasoning salt, cracked pepper. Packed with protein and taste like whatever you cook it with. -
A little food advice, please and thank you!
BigViffer replied to Andrea72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think your NUT is crazy. Ice cream, milkshakes & the like are slider foods and completely empty calories. Fat & sugar will either upset your stomach at best or cause dumping & sliming at worse. Soft cheeses, cottage cheese, Peanut Butter, and greek yogurt are a much better choice. Instead of the 0% greek yogurt, go for the regular. Hell, have some guacamole, it's loaded with good fats. Drink whole milk for your Fluid intake. Just do your best on getting quality calories, not just hitting the number. It will come in time. -
Crushing of Pills YUK!
Postop replied to kappy1418's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first few weeks after surgery we crushed them & put them in unsweetened applesauce. We also tried plain yogurt. -
Hi friends! I thought we could start a thread of great low-calorie, high Protein, or just plain delicious food products as we re-learn our diets. I recently found this DELICIOUS blue cheese salad dressing that is yogurt based and has just 35 calories for 2 tablespoons. There are different kinds also (Ranch, Honey Mustard, etc.). I have used it on salads (yes, I can tolerate lettuce!) but also to moisten my Proteins (steak, chicken, etc.). I will post more as I remember other products. I hope this is helpful to someone! What is your favorite food item these days? xoxo http://www.bolthouse.com/products/dressings/creamyyogurts

I am also Dec 3 sleeved. I am doing well. Although I was planning on going back to work today and decided I wasn't ready. I'm thinking I'll go Wed. I'm getting 2 protein shakes in a day which is 60 grams of protein, and 64 oz or more of clear liquids. This is my diet till I see my surgeon on Dec 20. He does not allow yogurt or anything that's not clear till after that. I'm having no problems other than being tired and a little sore.
